RaiderX Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 In the box safety strictly. Got abused by just about every TE he tried to cover. Thrived in his role down the stretch last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A+ person. This is correct. He can play in the box as long as he doesn't have any matchup man responsibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in 2019, he came on strong before his injury. Nothing otherworldly, but was certainly having an above-average season. I wish him the best. Friend of mine who is a Raiders fan kept hating the coaching staff because they didnt apparently like him or play him enough. Seems like when Gruden came in he was on the sh^& list for whatever reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Ya, hate to see him go. Seem like he was really putting it together last year, but got hurt. Best football likely ahead of him, he is a best in my eyes. Can play either FS with range, or be physical in the box. Explosive, can really lay the wood. Hasn't really made alot of picks, but no one on our lame defenses usually take the ball away. I would say his weakness is guard 6'6 elite TEs. He won' us a few games in 2018, best of luck to KoJo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfrey13 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 TEs and big WRs can seal him off and he is done. He will stay on their hip but is just to small. He can get lost in zone every once in a while. He can deliver a hit and is a good tackler. If he has a good DC he will play great. His best ball is ahead of him if he lands in the right spot. I always felt he was not used correctly. He is a heat seeking missile when a RB is trying to get around the edge. Really wanted to see him and Abram play together more. Would have been the hardest hitting safety duo in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfNewYork Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Remember Gruden saying they passed on Derwin James because they had Karl Joseph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph and Obi Melifonwu, who were both recent high draft picks. Joseph is a good player though, just dont line him up with TEs who have 6 inches height advantage 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishwars Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Really liked him coming out, seems like he lucked out a lot with the regime changes there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The must have measured from the top of his hair. Watching him try to cover Kelce was like watching old videos of me playing with my dad when I was 12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
